The canonical reference (until the WHATWG gets around to replacing it) is [RFC7232: HTTP/1.1 Conditional Requests](http://httpwg.org/specs/rfc7232.html). The language above is confusing, though; how can it create a conditional request if nothing was in the cache? I suspect what you mean to say is "Fetch will inspect the HTTP cache on the way to the network. If a fresh response is found, it will be used. Otherwise, a request will be sent to the network; if the cache has a response but it is stale, the request will be conditional." --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/commit/a47e1e4fa9c6c1e96538e9cbbd93a3da56549b5e#commitcomment-16109934
